The Boomtown [BUNDLE]

Ghost Town is another setting supplement for the pulp driven RPG, The Boomtown Planet.

Here we provide you with yet another setting to run amok in! Ghost Town is a chilling neighbourhood where the dead walk the streets and the living get put on ice.

Find out what the story behind the Dan Davenport story. Hang out in the Phoghorn and listen to haunting sounds of ghost musician turned detective Todd Barlow. Get the scoop and try to stay alive while you're doing it.

Yeah, there's a story in Ghost Town, a big story, but in order to get it, you might wind up dead . . . dead but not gone, that is.

One big newspaper to run, one big city to call your own, one million stories to uncover.

“So you think running a newspaper is easy? You think it's all about taking pictures, digging up dirt, and writing a story? Well, think again!” So says, Seth Elliot, Editor of The Boomtown Planet.

Set in the fictional city of Boomtown, The Boomtown Planet is a rules-lite, pulp style RPG that centres around the newspaper biz - sort of! Bring down big business, take on the mob, reveal the true story behind the story, dig up the dirt, and prove that the pen is mightier than the sword! High Hats, Low Lives, Gangsters, Dirty Cops, Freaks, Geeks, Mad Scientists, Monsters, and much more!

This supplement gives Boomtown Planet fans another setting to play in while giving them a taste of a different brand of newspaper work. While The Planet is a large city daily, The Hail River Report is a small town weekly.

With small town reporting comes small town politics, back room deals, and all the dangers that come with exposing any of it. Strange things happen in Hail River and that makes for some interesting news.

Along with this setting there are two new PCs to play.

This supplement for The Boomtown Planet focuses on the seedy side of the city of Boomtown. Why? Because not all news is confined to the ritzy Districts. News happens in the slums too, sometimes right down there in the gutter. As a reporter, a top notch newspaperman, your job is to get the scoop - even if you have to get your hands dirty or crack a nail. The Seedy Side offers Designers and Players some new settings to play in, a sooty sack full of NPCs, and a number of leads. Now get to it!

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
